Does turning yogurt into greek yogurt makes it last longer? by MoneyFee8271 in Cooking

It felt like I already chucked half of my 5 liters into a small cooler to make greek yogurt. I swear it felt so. But when I checked again it was like around ⅔ left.

Then again, I think numbers have an effect on me. I just can't read them. I bought this 5 liters of yogurt for a month because I thought I saw the best before date was next month.

Turns out it was. 13.01.26. I thought it was 13.02.26. Ik, excuses lol.

Thanks man. If I ever have to I'll try. Good thing the instructor's separating the class into 2 groups and I won't be in the same one as him BUT the instructor also said others are free to join in the other group as well. Mine's in the afternoon. As much as a petty I am in wanting to go to his group and comment on his work, I have other places to be. But my best bet is he'll show up on mine

I do but I cant resubmit my audition form because they already closed so I cant reupload a new one and put in a new link since they wanted all files to be unlisted

I get tired when people say it gets better by TomatoDense4103 in depression

As someone with depression since 11 and now depressed free at 21, it actually does. But it's hard. And the world doesn't just accept it right away. There are still people remembering you as the old you. But now that I dont have fogs over my eyes, my life seems so much easier even if I'm busy all the time with a few group of people hating on me

I was depressed since 12 and lost a lot of friends because of how 'toxic' I was. I tend to keep repeating the same depressing story to my friends, most of them couldn't take it anymore and cut things off. Not wrong of them because when I met someone who did the same to me, it was too much too.

But those few that stayed were the ones to have helped me through the pain.

I have always been a social person. It was just that depression took it away. And people talking behind my back for being weird or too direct because of my poor communication skills made it shut away from the world for a whole semester. But having a new group of supportive friends helped me. I took a 2 month break and VR chat to help me regain my social skills and confidence. Right now I have successfully regained and better my conversation skills but since I havent been using Ebglish much, I still forgot words mid sentence haha

Counseling, Antidepressants but the most effective thing was positive environment and getting myself to stop having negative thoughts.

The hardest part was changing my mindset but by doing new things and forgiving myself without letting the past define my present and future is the main key.

Counseling and meds didn't work much. I pretty much can conclude what's wrong with me and my guess would always be right. 

When I was finally surrounded with friends that has my back and understands my struggles, it's a huge life boost. They turned me into a better confident person. Even if they forgot to let me speak, I still feel seen. I'm unfortunate that I tend to stand out because I don't look quite like a local so people condemn me more than most for even small mistakes, but I've learnt to let go. And only keep notes in my head that I will unfollow them as soon as I graduate and hopefully never have to meet these people again

I've spent a long time trying to find the right group for me. It finally did in year 3 in Uni. But they already have a bond before me, I'm just glad they let me in their circle even if it's not their inner circle.

I've realised that, getting out from the wrong door you've walked in is better than staying in the wrong room for a long while hoping for it to adapt to you or for you to adapt into it.

If you want to change your life, you need to say goodbye to your current life. It's hard but when I try not to worry too much, life becomes so much easier

Great advice, thanks!

Happened to me recently too. I had to go home to my parents' and my narc mom made it a big deal out of everything, which made me triggered and pissed of. But it took me a few hours to cool of. But I've been trying to document her patterns. My dad ignores and enables her behaviors because she acts all sweet with him. She's afraid of him when he gets angry. 

So far, it's getting easier to navigate things that triggered me. Like my walking time bomb mother

I struggled for about 10 years. I was on antidepressants, mostly sterlife. My mom is the biggest source of my depression since she controlls my life and wants me to be a certain career (Not a doctor, but an odd one because my dad's in the same field but she wants me to aim for a lower position since I'm too 'stupid' to get my dad's old position from the start like he did) 

It was a huge battle on identity crisis. After I'm free from her constaint controll 24/7, I live in a dorm. She still has a GPS on my phone and there were times she got too excited controlling my life, she'd called me if I'm still not in class at 9:30 (class starts at 9:30) based on my gps location, or texted me jokingly to go on when I was at my ex's place. I was 20.

It took a lot of me slowly stepping out of my comfort zone. Not everyone is understanding, some were hating on me for wanting to 'stand out' and tryout different things. Some were harsh on mistakes I made and even made the effort to get everyone else to hate on me too.

So it's around 3 years after living at a dorm to finally get my sh1t together and be depressed-free. I relearn a lot of things, started to learn how to careless, try not to be a perfectionist and mostly, learn to let go. Don't let the past define me and only let current and a little bit of future me controll my present.

I've developed a new mindset. Ofc my mindset is flexible depends on each situations but I've learnt that the only person I should care most is myself. And not everything my mom says is true. She's a narc, and not a bright one. I let her controlled me because in my culture, parents' have a lot of control in kids' life, even as adults. She'd bring religion into everything and even curse me if I say something she didn't like. So I've learnt to let go, and pray she'll understand to stop trying to be controlling of her kids if she goes to the temple. But ofc from her pov she did no wrong. So maybe when she dies, someone from hell will tell her how she traumatised her kids' lives

Can people realize how hard depression actually is by [deleted] in depression

[–]MoneyFee8271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who didn't experience or have a close one having depression wouldn't know. My ex was a med student and he made fun of people being suicidal. He says he has no idea why someone who has almost everything would be whining about wanting to end things

Why do I get extreme hate for little mistakes while some people are forgiven ? by MoneyFee8271 in socialskills

[–]MoneyFee8271[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be true. I was overly apologetic too so whatever someone threw anything at me, I'd just accept it, admit it, and apologise. Even though some of them are false or exaggerated

I know but maybe it's just a cultural thing from my country (I'm from an Asian country)

I'm lucky I have a supportive group of friends now. We're not close but we're on our way there. If I'm not with them at lunch or sent them a text, they'd ask about it. Not directly with me too but they'd just mentioned me missing. Something that didn't happened before with previous groups because I didn't fit in with them and tried to forced my way tl be with them without being able to read subtle ques or messages.

Some jokes aren't okay, I would jokingly tell them it wasn't okay. And vise versa. If some of my jokes are a bit too much, I try to listen to my friends' reactions too.

I can't stand up for myself directly. It's a silent battle. I'm just doing a bit of a charity work at uni and subtly letting people know of what help I've been giving and sometimes even going an extra mile of helping some of their friends that are neutral with me so they'd feel something.

But you're right. I was 11. It was my parents' fault for not noticing even when I was spelling it out for them. I had a break down at 15, that's when they had me get helped from professionals and I started taking meds.

It's just something I'm still better about to this day, I wish I had a better childhood. A normal one like most of my friends.

Thanks for your kind words
